"Music of the Future"
oil on canvas - 8"x8"

For all of my viewers that are a bit more grounded in
reality, I've gone to the streets today to bring you
an image of a long standing icon near our city's campus.....
"not the young guy".....:) but "The String Shoppe".
It seems like it was there forever years but has bit the
dust now....This young guy has to travel a lot further
to find some strings to create the music of the future!

Puffaloon Lake

"Puffaloon Lake"
oil on canvas - 8"x10" - sold
Dreamscape Series

I thought I would start this week with a trip to
Puffaloon Lake for a little summer fun.
Since the sixities, I have created flat collage work that I have
called "Dreamscapes". I always thought they were studies
for future paintings and I used them to practice color, design and
to keep my brain open for new concepts.
All these years have gone by and I never did them into paintings but
lately, I have been thinking about them and had this little vision
of Puffaloon Lake pop into my head....

Hope you enjoy it!
